I'm not actually sure that there is a home on Earth 6000 miles away from a furcon.

Yeah, nowhere in the Northern Hemisphere is gonna qualify.

If you live on Tristan Da Cunha, the "most remote island on Earth inhabited by humans" in the South Atlantic, you're ~5,984 mi from SloFluffCon 2023 in Celje, Slovenia, so even that wouldn't quite do it.

I don't think that you can count somewhere like the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, because nobody actually permanently lives there.

looks further

Pitcairn Island isn't even close, only about 3,520 mi from Confuror 2023 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
